This is it.

Really pisses me off. How many more women will he rape?

I don't give a fuck how "challenging" his life has been. Part of his sentence should have been to put in a lot of time in at homeless shelters and soup kitchens.

to play without him!

Sadly, there are people even here who think like that.

"The statement did not mention the rape victim."

No apologies, no remorse, no acknowledgement of the wrongs he did. How can that be "good behavior?" This makes me sick!

Just the little bit quoted in this thread is far more than enough.

not the press release itself. I do understand your repugnance at reading it.

Thinkprogress had in the article, as a paragraph of its own, the sentence I quoted. It really made it stand out, and I like that at least some of the media acknowledges the lack of the victim in this press release. That lack of mention is what more than anything other tells me we live in a rape culture. The legal/press team of a convicted rapist, whose crime was proven by his own photographs of it, knows that it isn't necessary to show remorse to the public. The know it isn't necessary for a convicted rapist to acknowledge the atrocity he committed to gain the public's approval. They are betting that the public doesn't care about the victim either. I doubt we'll see mainstream media pointing out the lack.

It's fucking heartbreaking.

When people question the existence of rape culture or even just attempt to minimize it, it truly affects my appreciation of their character as a human being.

How nice for him. Meanwhile his victim will serve a lifetime. But no thought for her or what she's had to endure or will endure. So fucking typical.

while another who (in all likelihood) did nothing wrong was vilified, posthumously, as a thug and criminal.
